Points Explained

In order to borrow books from others, you need to earn points which you use up as you borrow books from other people.

You earn points when you:

• List books: enter books you own and want to borrow. Each book listed gets you 1 point.
• Lend books: respond to a borrow request, and send your book to them. 15 point awarded.
• Write feedback: you will get a chance to rate your borrow/lend experience. Give feedback to earn 1 point.

You use up points when you:

• Borrow books: each book you receive costs you 10 points.

Some additional facts:

• 2:1 ratio: you have to lend at least 1 book for every 2 you borrow. If you don't keep this ratio up, you won't be able to borrow any books, even if you have the points, until you improve your ratio.
• Feedback score: if your feedback score is bad, people may refuse your requests. Efficient response earn good feedback points.
